Customise website

The Webteam can embed one website into another for you within FirstSpirit, in other words, merge them into one website.

The following conditions and regulations apply:

• A migration is only offered if the source and target sites are located in the same FirstSpirit project.
• Please do not move folders yourself, as authorisations and settings are also linked to them! We will be happy to do this for you and the process will always be carried out in consultation with you.
• Specification of corresponding target folders for the content, site structure and media in the form of FirstSpirit addresses to ensure accuracy.
• Data records
  • can either be adjusted manually by the website editors, i.e. by changing the corresponding news category or contact institution,
  • or the data areas (category, institution, etc.) are kept and only the filtered views are adjusted regarding authorisations or deleted.
• • It is possible to retain the authorisation group of the source website if this is required. Otherwise, the authorisations are adjusted accordingly to the authorisations valid in the target area and the group of the source website will be deleted.
  • Attention: all members in the removed authorisation group lose their rights.

We are always in direct contact with you throughout the entire process in order to clarify the options mentioned and implement them accordingly.

Renaming to a slash sub-address, as in the following example, can usually be technically implemented within a day once the adjustments have been started.

Examples:

1. www.department.tu-darmstadt.de/test -> www.department.tu-darmstadt.de/example
2. www.example2.tu-darmstadt.de -> www.department.tu-darmstadt.de/example2

Please note the following:

• The webteam is renaming the site
• You will have no work to do and nothing will change in terms of editing apart from the name and alphabetical sorting within the site structure.
• If necessary, the name of the authorisation group(s) will be adjusted, but you will then be informed.
• If it is a renaming from a subdomain to a sub-website, see 2nd example, we set up a serverside https redirect from the original address to the new web address.
• If it is a renaming as in the 1st example, we will set up a corresponding rewrite rule (forwarding) within the data sources of FirstSpirit, which you can adjust if necessary. You can find out more about rewrite rules in this article .
• Renaming to another subdomain is currently not offered.
